Development history

As some anonymous Valve developers say, every Portal: Still Alive bonus level is inspired by the Portal: The Flash Version map pack levels which were made by WeCreateStuff. Some game mechanics which were seen in the official Portal game trailer were implemented in the Still Alive expansion pack, such as the Crusher (a whole chamber's part took direct inspiration from the Crusher level in the trailer). The levels are not canon to the story of the first game . Some rumours surfaced that a second expansion pack was in the works but the rumours were quickly debunked.
